Default 1-95 in Philly has a major fire, implosion of Highway

Pretty serious issue with fire, and of course traffic.

Reminds me of the burning and collapse of part of I-85 in Atlanta a few years ago. That made for a traffic nightmare for months.

After looking more closely, I'm sure that someone placed charges on the bridge. Total set up. Everyone knows that diesel fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel and cause structural collapse of a concrete structure.

Only certain times, only when someone needed better pole numbers, distractions.
But, when protective coatings wash away, steel doesnt have a chance.
And concrete can blow up due to heat..

Near Philadelphia? Drug mules and human traffickers.

Philly traffic is already horrible. Absolute nightmare.

I can't even imagine how bad it'll be tomorrow and throughout the rest of 2023 and early-mid 2024.

In the above article it references the 1996 fire which some juveniles set fire to "some" tires under the bridge. OK, it was thousands of tires. That fire also closed down 95 for a while.

The owner of those tires was Mr Carr ( Carr Tire in the Philadelphia suburbs). He ended up with jail time plus a 3 million fine to help pay for replacement.

State or Fed to pay for it?
I bet you that right now both entities are on the phone telling the other that it's not their responsibility. The unions will get involved, Gayor Pete will spit the cock out of his mouth just long enough to mediate the "crisis" and the Pennsylvania DOT will get a $100B grant to fix it using only 'Green' machinery. In 2032 they'll have President Fetterman cut a ribbon opening the new 'Lesko Brandon Memorial Highway'. Attorney General Hunter Biden will be on hand to represent his father.
Officials said they expect reparations to be underway for several months on the highway
